If I could give this professor 0 stars, I would. His exams are genuinely unfair. He said certain material wouldn’t appear on the exam and included it anyway. Several questions covered topics that weren’t taught or were only mentioned briefly, yet they were weighted just as heavily as major, complex problems (like drawing full peptide structures with correct pKa values). The entire grade depends on exams (there are no assignments or other ways to reinforce learning or recover from one bad test). Communication was also an issue. He doesn’t respond to emails in a timely way (I had to follow up in person on something time-sensitive, and his response was “oh, I forgot”). Homework (optional btw) was posted late and often just listed problem numbers from the textbook, with no effort to format or organize them. Overall, I found the course disorganized, poorly communicated, and graded in a way that didn’t reflect what was actually taught. |
